Nose Art | 15-tow-sq-11th-usaaf

Nose Art - Like elsewhere the planes were personnalized with nose art and a name. Most of the subjets in these photos was the Martin AT-23B/TB-26C Marauder "Wet Dream Serial number 41-35436. I suspect "My Vonnie" may have become "Wet Dream". Apparently the men would change the name to each crew member's girl friend/wife, have their picture taken then change the name again, etc.
